The entire region around Nova Bystrice and much of the way to Jindrichuv Hradec is hilly and densely wooded highland. Due to its fine topography and pristine nature, with trails lined in bushes of raspberries, forests rich in mushrooms and blueberries, with all the comforts and amenities in Nova Bystrice and Jindrichuv Hradec, and well connected with Prague, in recent years the highlands have become one of the hot spots for Czech cyclists and hikers. Known for colder winters than the rest of Southern Bohemia, the region has received a befitting name, Czech Canada.
